jeez ... I'm out of breath just reading you. I get so much of what you speak, though am in my embodiment in a very different way these days - I had a glory chapter in which as a middle aged professional psychotherapist, I trusted the call of heart to open a practice offering sensual and erotic pleasure to those interested in being touched rather than handled. It was a doorway of immeasurable proportion. It gave me myself in the only sexual position I can truly occupy in full freedom - devotional, while holding the frame - it is not one conducive to the dance of partnership, and I love deeply undefended intimacy and connection with other humans, but couldn't live with one!

I know and love the one I am. I walked her home, and at 66 have just published my non-binary memoir, Postcards From a Little Life. I made myself into a book. It is a beautiful book.

I loved the words you used - erotic innocence - in my reclamation of battered, trauma informed sexuality, via the unlikely pathway of offering a sexual service, I often spoke of libidinal joy. I touched and was touched by so much during the years I call 'Stroking Naked Men' & the occasional naked woman.

I'm touched by your work 🙏
